*vectorentity()
Syntax
*vectorentity (id systemid basenodeid headnodeid xcomp ycomp zcomp magnitude)
Type
HyperMesh HMASCII
Inputs
- id
- The ID of the vector.
- systemid
- The ID of the local coordinate system for the vector.
- basenodeid
- The ID of the node at the tail of the vector.
- headnodeid
- The ID of the node at the head of the vector (may be zero).
- xcomp, ycomp, zcomp
- The x, y, z unit components of the vector.
- magnitude
- The magnitude of the vector.
Example
This command must follow a *vectorcollector() definition. If headnodeid is non-zero, then xcomp, ycomp, zcomp, and magnitude are ignored during input. Otherwise, the xcomp, ycomp, zcomp and magnitude are used to describe the vector. A basenodeid must always be supplied.
Errors
None.
